Though a Clinton Democrat, Tenney maintained a position strongly opposing [[abortion]]. He once proclaimed: "Abortion is sin! That's not a political statement; that's Bible. It's the sanctity of human life and if God's people don't say it, who's going to say it?"
Tenney's son, Tommy Tenney (born 1956), is also a Pentecostal clergyman and prolific author in Alexandria, Louisiana.
